21、Today is National Superhero Day, according to the Marvel universe. But the everyday heroes covered by Newsweek don’t wear capes(斗篷)or feature in Marvel films.

National Superhero Day is so popular after the Twitter page for Vought International posted an image of the Soldier Boy character in a World War II uniform. According to the fictional story, a 1945 order was drafted to make April 28 “Soldier Boy Day”, but the character humbly changed it to “National Superhero Day”.

In reality, the annual occasion was created by Marvel Comics employees in 1995 to celebrate real heroes. Newsweek has covered all manner of everyday heroes over the years, with many of them on the small screen.

In October 2021, dash-cam footage(行车记录仪)captured a Florida policeman saving a 1-year-old girl. The girl was choking and unresponsive when her parents turned to Reginald Mathieu, who happened to be nearby. He raced to the girl’s rescue and performed repeated back blows until she regained consciousness.

One month earlier, five U.S. Marines came to the aid of a woman whose vehicle got stuck in floodwater in Washington, D.C. The men happened to be driving by after a Marine funeral. With the physical strength, they jumped into the knee-high water in clean and clear clothes and pushed the lady’s car out of the flood. “This is so cool. I should say they are superheroes in uniforms,” the woman said in her TikTok video of the rescue.

Humans are not the only everyday superheroes—dogs have also pulled off remarkable lifesaving moments. Mali, a British special-forces dog, was awarded the Britain’s Victoria Cross in 2017.

【1】Why was a 1945 order drafted according to the fictional story?

A．To celebrate real heroes.

B．To advertise the Marvel Comics.

C．To make April 28 a Soldier Boy day

D．To introduce the National Superhero Day.

【2】How long has the National Superhero Day existed?

A．At least 26 years.

B．Exact 22 years.

C．Only 28 years.

D．More than 76 years.

【3】What does “This” underlined in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The Marine funeral.

B．The girl’s rescue.

C．The clean and clear car.

D．The help from the Marines.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A news report.

B．A book review.

C．A hero’s story.

D．A diary entry.

23、Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.

During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn. It was a hot, low­paying job.

He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.

He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.

From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.

What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2­year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4­year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.

【1】 How many jobs had Peter taken?

A. Three   B. Four.   C. Five.   D. Six.

【2】All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common：________.

A. They didn’t pay well

B. They were dull and tiresome

C. They needed hard labour

D. They were done during his vacation

【3】 ________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.

A. Confidence B. Education

C. Opportunity   D. Wisdom

【4】 We can learn from the text that________.

A. Peter knew what to do for his future

B. Peter’s father didn’t care about him

C. it was very hard for Peter to make his choices

D. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked

24、Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.

According to The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s—much later than previously thought.

Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years, it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.

This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive（认知的）tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words they can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed—how fast they can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.

Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with age. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we are younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life; therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.

【1】Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ________.

A. the young are better at handling important things

B. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s

C. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain

D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of aging

【2】The continuing research has found older people perform better on ________.

A. perceptual speed    B. number ability

C. vocabulary tests    D. body balance

【3】People are happier with aging because ________.

A. they learn to value the time left

B. they know how to share feelings

C. they cannot focus on negative aspects

D. they do not realize the possible dangers

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People get happier with age.

B. People get wiser with age.

C. People get more forgetful with age.

D. People get more self-aware with age.
